New device can measure PET radiotracer concentration
Static PET images enable a qualitative assessment of the distribution of a radiotracer, but to improve disease prediction, a more quantitative approach is required. A retired radiation oncologist and an electrical engineer have joined forces to develop a clinically useful device.

MRI quantifies magnetic targeting of tumors
To avoid the adverse impact of chemotherapy on healthy tissue, a useful targeting mechanism is to magnetically guide nanocarriers of toxic drugs to tumors using an applied magnetic field. The method is cheap and easy, but it lacks a quantifiable way of evaluating targeting efficiency.

GPR 2026 opening day: Benefit before novelty in pediatric radiology
Reducing radiation, sedation, contrast use, and examination time will be among the major themes at GPR 2026, as pediatric radiologists meet in Tübingen.
Photon-counting CT correctly identified ≥50% in-stent restenosis in the mid-right coronary artery, which was confirmed by invasive angiography.
